    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_photovoltaics

    Biological photovoltaic devices are a type of biological electrochemical system, or microbial fuel cell, and are sometimes also called photo-microbial fuel cells or “living solar cells”. [3] In a biological photovoltaic system , electrons generated by photolysis of water are transferred to an anode . [ 4 ]

  6. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell (PV cell), is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. [1] It is a type of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current , voltage , or resistance ) vary when it is exposed to light.

    Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric Generator (PV-TEG) hybrid system is a type of hybrid PV cell that pairs a photovoltaic (PV) cell with a thermoelectric generator (TEG). [141] TEGs rely on the Seebeck effect , a phenomenon that occurs when a junction of two conducting materials experience a temperature difference thereby, inducing an electromotive ...

    The photovoltaic industry also produces upgraded metallurgical-grade silicon (UMG-Si), using metallurgical instead of chemical purification processes. [1] When produced for the electronics industry, polysilicon contains impurity levels of less than one part per billion (ppb), while polycrystalline solar grade silicon (SoG-Si) is generally less ...

  9. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_indium_gallium...

    A copper indium gallium selenide solar cell (or CIGS cell, sometimes CI(G)S or CIS cell) is a thin-film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electric power. It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper indium gallium selenide solid solution on glass or plastic backing, along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current.
